XIAN LIM & MCDONALD'S MCFLOAT SUMMER MEDLEY

For the record, Youtube chose the thumbnail, not me.

I actually don't know who this Xian Lim guy is except from my friend that talks about him a lot on Twitter (Hehe you know who you are). But apparently he's popular enough to get a contract from McDonald's as the endorser for the "McFloat Summer Medley" Line up. (Funny,no? I knew who Dino Ferrari was straight away, and this guy who's on Philippine TV everyday, I had no clue who he is) But it's clear that he's extremely popular, and the ladies love him.

I normally refrain from writing about food items that I haven't tried, and truth be told, I haven't tried any of the McFloats yet, (although the people I work with have tried the Blueberry and Four Seasons and enjoyed it, while i'm intrigued by the Honey Banana) I decided to write about this, not because of the items, but because of the commercial, in which the post production was done by the company I work for.

Since McDonald's is handled by an agency not under my account, I had nothing to do with this commercial, so I don't have any stories to tell about Xian Lim or anything like that. I'm just writing to tell my friends, BJ, Chi, Dimpy, Jay, Musse and Jerwin that they did an amazing job. Congratulations guys!! Great Job!

The McFloat Summer Medley goes for P29 for a regular size, and P45 for a Monster Size. They also have a Fries and Float Combo Meal for P55.

i don't know him either, but apparently i just did two different commercials with him in it... i thought he was just another familiar face for tvc... yun pala he is that popular.. but still, i have no clue who he is.

The commercial is one of the few commercials that I will never get tired of watching...it has this laid back vibe that says summer is cool...and Xian makes it even cooler...I know Xian Lim because he is one of the fastest rising stars around who is popular,why? Not just because he is 6"2" and is easy on the eyes...it's a toss up between his good looks and impeccable manners, an added attraction that spread around like wildfire through the blogs of the people who worked with him and of course, by his fans, new and old ones who attest to his being uber nice...good endorser...yeah because I don't drink soda and I'm into healthy eating but I drop by the McDonald's store occasionally to get a sundae and stare at his standee...
